992 gt3 - Page 1 - 911/Carrera GT - PistonHeads UK

Scratching the itch and monitoring cars for sale. I’d love a .2 with the weissach pack but may not stretch the budget that much. So the big thing im not stuck on is spec of car. Ceramics or no? What’s the thoughts on manual or pdk? Thanks

I was in a similar place a few months ago but have now decided to simply replace my T with the .2 car, as much as I like the GT3 I can’t see that it would offer me enough. Personally I’d want a manual and as I would only track very occasionally I’d not bother with PCCB’s.

PCCB's every time for me, just for the way better look aesthetically

I would definitely want them on a GT3. They have numerous benefits that specifically suit road use. Not a cheap option, but worth it IMO Gearbox choice - auto or manual - is down to personal preference. No right or wrong. Edited by Koln-RS on Sunday 4th October 20:06

Controversial opinion, but Spec/Buy what you want. My 992.2 winged car is non-WP, non-CS. It has buckets, steels and PDK. 6months in and I have zero regrets. It's what I wanted & specced because it suits my case-uses, and crucially, my driving ability i.e what/how/when I extract from the car. The track v road argument is binary, and quite frankly, nonsense.

PCCB definitely (although will probably never use them in anger) - but as an option it helps the resale price when you come to part ways. Would have been really happy to find a manual, but they are like rocking horse poo - the key to enjoying the pdk is to actually drive it on the paddles. A careful look at the spec is key, as there's a few out there for sale (that have been for sale for well over a year) that don't have that much on the options front. Best advice - MAKE SURE IT'S GOT FRONT LIFT. Coming out of an orange turbo cab into one - is it's suprising how much more positive attention you get, compared to one of the normal cars.

Had look at a touring , as many on sale at the moment , I suspect most owners spec them as per PH and are not really GT3 owners at heart . The reason for a GT3 is track days or hill climbs even if only every so often . Turbo and GTS will always be better road cars . Sadly on way home in RS decided I was happy there , even getting close to 70 in age

Agreed - used the paddles on my pdk 991.2 for the first time in months last weekend. Really upped the fun levels a lot!

So I’ve went and done it, deposit put on 992.2 weissach pack, no pccb but I’ll probably not regret that. Did want a manual but maybe got my own build slot for next year.. Happy days

Happy days Congrats, brilliant machines. Post up details on the main thread when you can. PDK suits the car better too

If you go PDK you HAVE to get the RS paddles - they’re so much nicer to use
